How long dilated depends on type of drop, how much got in eye and color of eye. One eye usually wears off first because the second eye to get the drops is tearing and sqeezing and not as much gets in.

Hi- My 9 year old daughter is nearsighted and wears glasses (-425 in one eye and -375 in the other eye), I took her in for her annual vision exam last week the OD told me that he wanted her to come back in 4-6 weeks because when he was examing the back of her right eye he noticed a crescent around the optic nerve (he said was normal) but he said it was red in the area. She is very light skinned with blue eyes he said everything is so bright upon examination but wants to re-check.

They want a baseline eye exam so that if you do develop any eye problems or vision changes they can compare the new findings to the findings on your baseline eye exam. Your baseline eye exam should be done by an opthamologist and include a retinal scan.

I am thinking that with your family and personal medical history it is very important to let a specialist look at the whole retina. The only way I have ever had one is by dilating the pupils with a medication and then the retina specialist looks via an indirect opthalmascope (headset) into the eye. The nearsightedness is" extreme. "That is like a code word for stretched thin retina and at high risk to detach during or after the cataract extraction. Retina specialist is the way to go.

My wife had eye surgery for the removal of recurring cataract in lens capsule with laser. The opthamologist did one follow up exam the next day. Two months later my wife woke up and couldn't see out of that eye. The same doctor examined her again and diagnosed a detached retina. After multiple procedures since, she has regained some but not all of the vision she enjoyed before the first surgery. Is only one follow up visit after this procedure the usual standard of care?

That is not as easy as it sounds. Different Eye MDs do it differently. Some retina MDs will "do it all" others will not do refractions and treat anything other than retina. The best thing would be to ask your retina MD.

A month ago I had a secondary cataract removed from my right eye with a laser. My eyes were tested yesterday at a different doctors office and I was very surprised to see that the letters on the chart looked jagged! Meaning that the appearance of the letters instead of appearing smooth seemed as if they had been ripped out of something This doctor said that their was nothing that he could do but to come back in six weeks. He would not say that this was caused by the laser. I am stunned.

Last Friday, I had a consultation with a local reputable laser center. After an eye exam, the tech told me that he thought I was in no way eligible due to my prescription but the Dr said I had enough corneal thickness to proceed. After researching more on the net and discovering what some of the numbers mean, I called back yesterday to find out what prescription they had come up with. Here is what they told me: R -5.0 + 1.75 X 085 L -8.25 + 1.

Sometimes surgery is required to remove blood (to see better) and to do more laser inside of the eye during surgery. Most patients though could be managed with injections of a medication into the eye (anti VEGF therapy) every 4-6 weeks and laser once there is an adequate view to perform more laser.

My with went for a regular eye exam, her eyes were fine when she arrived for the exam. She was given Fluorescein and exam was normal. The next day she had cloudy vision in one eye, a return to the dotor and subsequent exam revealed nothing. Two dyas later she was directed to the hospital, were she had an MRI which initially was read as normal, but 2 days later we were notified that she had optic nueritis. A follow up to a nuerologist confirmed this.

Hello, 31 yr old white male here. I just had an eye exam at the county charity clinic, I went it due to seeing streaks of light behind light sources, and things blurring together when I look around. The resident looked in my eyes with the microscope, but there were 2 things different about this exam that seemed different than other ones I've had.

Other causes but less common and those would require exam of eye.

I had no symptoms, I just went in for my annual eye exam. My eye Dr actually thought I had a torn retina and sent me to a retinal specialist and he DX'd me with PP. Now about 3 or 4 weeks ago I started see flashes of light in my left eye. It doesn't happen everyday. So I made an appointment to see my regular eye Dr. I saw her last Thursday (1/7/16). She did a dilated exam and said the PP in my right eye looked the same as it did in Sept so no change there.

The Opthamologist said I had a retinal tear, performed laser eye surgery to repair it, and advised I see a Retina Specialist before returning home. I was in shock...how could this happen to me? I have never had any eye problems. Even during the two visits with the specialists in NY, my vision was still 20/20. The Retinal Specialist did more laser surgery so as to prevent a RD. He diagnosed me with Lattice Degeneration.

Hello doc..i am 21, 6' 3'', have -10 in my left eye and -9.5 in my rt eye. i took a hit from a football 3 months ago near my left eye...i had flashes in the corner of my left eye and i ve been examined by retina spec and confirmed a small tear, they put a barrier with laser to prevent further detachment...my ques is 1.will the laser treatment stop the RD in future? 2.do i have pathological myopia my error is stable for 6 months now and before year i had 0.3 increase...3.

Still after 2 weeks i got change in the pattern of flashes. Again i rushed to eye hospital. Doctors said we got perfect result of barrage laser and i don't thing it will again detach from that portion. But you need regular checkup in every 6 months. Now again change in flashes pattern flashes size reduced but it last long upto 2-3 sec. I fear of a new tear or hole. What is the possibility ?

A recent exam showed I had cataracts in both eyes.My left eye was correctable to 20/20 but the right eye to only 20/40. I went to an opthalmologist. He dilated my eyes and had me read an eye chart with my recent glass prescription on. He said both eyes were between 20/50 to 20/60. I am confused that my dilated corrected vision showed much worse than my undilated corrected vision.

Now that I have PVD ..

I'm a female, mid-20s, diagnosed with a chronic temporal retinal detachment. It was an incidental finding on routine eye exam. I hadn't experienced any flashes, floaters or noticed loss of peripheral vision until it was pointed out. I should mention that I have high myopia and extensive lattice degeneration in both eyes.

i had yag laser six months ago because my left eye looked like i still had a cataract . after the procedure my vision was brighter in that eye,but whites still look grayer than my right eye that has never been done. it still looks like my left eye is looking through a grey cloud. It was fine while my eyes were dilated, but changed after a few hours. Is it possible the blasted hole is too small?

However, my doctor dilated my pupils at my latest exam and she discovered a retinal hole in my left eye. She mentioned that I need laser treatment done to seal this hole. I don't have any sort of insurance. The hospital she referred me has given me a quote of $250+ just for the consultation. Around how much can this actual treatment cost me without insurance? Thanks.

Wanted to get Lasik done, but on visit to eye doctor I found out that I have lattice degeneration on my left eye while my right eye is perfectly fine. Dr. suggested that I should get laser done and lasik can be followed in month or so. My question if I get my laser done are there any chances in future for any more tears in retina? If I don't go for laser will there be any future retina or any other eye related problems?? Thanks for your help.
